Cyclops Tunnel Cover Swap from Plastic to Metal?
My cyclops has one of the black plastic tunnel covers. Before it was mine, the plastic was cracked right where the dump valve rod and ball rest on it for support (go figure). So, I rigged it up so it wouldn't fall down through, and always thought I might replace the tunnel cover some day. Has anyone ever swapped the plastic out for the metal version? I see screw placement is different, but would it fit between the fender and dash?

I think the dash cover is different between the plastic and metal. Check the parts site for parts numbers.

I say,,, get a SGT metal tunnel cover, and alter it until it fits,,
With a saw, drill, and hammer, I am sure it will work!! |

Who needs a hammer when I've got a loose hitch plate. That thing works just like my hammer!
PartsTree shows the same panel for 1440 and 1641 serials 821060-880000. I can find lots of images of those models with metal covers. Is there a model that never shipped with plastic covers for comparison? |

I switched from the metal one to plastic on my 1541. No problems. You may need to drill new mounting holes. Otherwise they interchange fine.

Thanks for confirming your swap Frank. Was there a reason you went from metal to plastic? I'm considering the opposite.

No real reason, I thought the plastic version looked better.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
